David Handermann commented on NIFI-14426:
-----------------------------------------
Thanks for proposing this improvement [~zhtk]. It is important to note that the
legacy Excel format has a different set of dependencies, and a different
parsing approach than the streaming strategy currently implemented for modern
XLSX parsing. For these reasons, it may be better to implement a different
Excel Reader. That would require flow-level changes to handle modern versus
legacy Excel files, but that could be handled through type detection and
routing.
